Looking for the best quality sound performance

Any help would be appriciated

Do you need a sub?

panicbuy · 8 Jan 2014 at 14:25

yes would prefer sub as well

wazza300 · 8 Jan 2014 at 14:45

strip the wire and solder them back together?

panicbuy · 8 Jan 2014 at 14:48

I would have no idea how to solder
I have seen it done but definitely wouldn't just myself doing this

wazza300 · 8 Jan 2014 at 14:52

you can buy some electrical connector/joints and they just crimp on the wires with some pliers

Ok thanks for that
My dads company will now be soldering this
Saved me a bit of money thanks.

On the off chance they still dont work what speakers would you suggest
I buy on budget £50 - £100

I currently have Logitec with bass

No sub, but the Creative T40 speakers work very well.

However a headset/headphones are the best possible solution for gaming. Most detailed sound for you and no annoying noise for anyone else.

I use a headset for gaming and the Creatives for more general use.

Its not just used for gaming
would like decent quality speakers as we use the pc speakers to play music works great when we have a BBQ in the summer time.

Logitech Z523 would be a good shout

+1 i did this to extend the speaker wire on some creative speakers, works a treat and easy to do

these are great but your knackered if you need to change a speaker

They are not as modular as say creatives

Ok advise taken on soldering job done.
once pc is upgraded may look into better speakers

thanks for all advise here

I have logitech z623. Very happy with them, only paid around £100 but they really produce some good quality sound

Milanolatino24 · 16 Jan 2014 at 10:25

yeah second that, i have the z623's cant fault them really

How about active monitors mate, most around here recommend the Edifier R1600T's ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-003-ER ) I've never tried them but the Edifier Preditors 2.1 I used to own were great. I use the Behringer MS20's myself and since using them I would never go back to any pc speaker again. They are only stereo, but with the built in amp, they are awesome. For £50 the R1600T's are a bit of a bargain.
